WHY: "Lest We Forget ...

* that sixty-one years ago 150,000 people, mostly non-combatants, were instantaneously killed by atomic bombs dropped on the cities of Hiroshima ( August 6) and Nagasaki ( August 9). Subsequently, many additional thousands of Japanese citizens died of radiation poisoning from these two US nuclear weapons.

* that there are more Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) on the 5 Tridents and in the bunker area at Kings Bay than at any other place on the Planet.

* that the US will commit a staggering $ 170,200,000,000 ( billion that is) to the Trident system through the year 2032 yet leave its citizens without adequate health coverage, education, housing, jobs, etc ... www.nationalpriorities.org/sources/tradeoffsources.html

* that the 14 U.S. Trident submarines have the real capability to kill more than 14,300,160,000 (14 billion) people, which is 2 & 1/3 times the Planet's population.

We come on this day to stand for a few hours at the main gate of this site of potential ultimate destruction lest we forget the awful and awesome reality of the nuclear age. Come join us.
